Re: Coffee was my savior...what do I drink now?
I lived on coffee before I got my BFP - I actually needed it to keep up with my toddler 
You can still have one cup a day, I stopped drinking it because I was so sick the first trimester and will have an oocassional cup here and there now.
I drink lots of iced tea now.

Congratulations!
I used to love coffee and switched to decaf as soon as I found out. I found that I never really missed the regular stuff. You'll adjust Good Luck!

Re: Coffee was my savior...what do I drink now?
I drank at least 3 cups a day before BFP but now I'm drinking so much water I dont even miss it. I never even got a withdrawal headache from stopping so quick either. I thought that would be the hardest thing to do but not at all as bad as I thought. I'm allowed to drink two regular cups of caffeine a day but I still just drink water or ginger ale when I'm nauseous. I even made coffee yesterday for my DH and I couldnt even stand the smell! So weird for me!

I was a big diet coke drinker beforehand and I was amazed I didn't suffer from caffeine withdrawals! Like PP, I drank a lot of water.

Re: Coffee was my savior...what do I drink now?
I used to drink so much coffee before. Sometimes 4 cups a day. As soon as I got my BFP I couldn't stand the smell of coffee. It made me sick. During my second trimester I started to like it again, but I made the switch to decaf.

Congratulations!!!
I used to drink a lot of coffee & even though we can have 1 small cup a day, I switched right over to Decaf. I won't lie - I had bad withdrawal headaches for a little while & coupled with the normal 1st trimester exhaustion I could barely function for the first 12 weeks. I made it through, though, & I'm sure you will too. Nothing else is sooooo worth it!

Re: Coffee was my savior...what do I drink now?
I just got my BFP too and everything I have read said you can have a little caffein so 1 cup of coffee won't kill you...maybe you can start your day off with it! That's what I do!

This was me too, although I couldn't stomach it again till my 3rd trimester. I'm enjoying decaf iced coffe alot now though.

I do a mix, one cup regular, one cup decaf since about 22 weeks or so, the first trimester I was so turned off from coffee.
